Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls

Female Low T?

17 Apr 2024

Description

There is a STRONG debate within the medical community as to whether testosterone should be prescribed to women during menopause and the time before and after it. Social media influencers and other media personalities are touting testosterone as a cure-all for mood, sex drive, cognitive changes, fatigue, reduced muscle strength, and other symptoms associated with menopause. In fact, the number of testosterone prescriptions for women has risen within the last five years in the United States and internationally. But is that evidence-based? The answer is both YES and NO. In this episode, we will focus on testosterone replacement for female low sexual interest. We will highlight the position statements from a large international coalition in 2019, a separate 2021 position statement, and the opinion of the ACOG. We have LOTS to cover here, so go lather up with your testosterone cream (JK) and listen in!
